Casanova is the first Puerto Rican designer ever on Project Runway, and with barely four months of exposure to the English language, he showed up for casting determined to impress the judges.

Before he became a fashion designer, while living in his native Puerto Rico, in worked as a personal shopper, stylist, image consultant and even red carpet television host. Casanova looks at fashion as a form of communication, not just a form of vanity so its no wonder he views some of his designs as works of art, such as the “naked dress” he created.

Since Project Runway, Casanova has kept himself busy. He can be seen on “Good Morning Miami” as a fashion commentator, speaking with students from NYC’s renowned Fashion Institute of Technology and as a spokesperson for Microsoft and their new computer “HP TouchSmart PC.”
